25.TH TIFFFieldWriteCount 3TIFF "July 26, 2012" "libtiff"
26.SH NAME
27TIFFFieldWriteCount \- Get number of values to be written to field
28.SH SYNOPSIS
29.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
30.sp
31.BI "int TIFFFieldWriteCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")"
32.SH DESCRIPTION
33.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
34returns the number of values to be written into the specified
35TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to
36.BR TIFFSetField .
37For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2,
38but there are some special values:
39.br
40.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
41indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a
42.BR uint16
43.I count
44argument and a pointer
45.I data
46argument must be supplied to
47.BR TIFFSetField .
48.br
49.BR TIFF_VARIABLE2
50is the same as
51.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
52except that the
53.I count
54argument must have type
55.BR uint32 .
56(On most modern machines, this makes no practical difference, and the
57.I count
58argument can simply be an
59.BR int
60in either case.)
61.br
62.BR TIFF_SPP
63indicates that the number of arguments must be equal to the image's
64number of samples per pixel.
65.P
66.I fip
67is a field information pointer previously returned by
68.BR TIFFFindField ,
69.BR TIFFFieldWithTag ,
70or
71.BR TIFFFieldWithName .
72.P
73For most field types,
74.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
75returns the same value as
76.BR TIFFFieldReadCount ,
77but there are some exceptions.
78.br
79.SH "RETURN VALUES"
80.br
81.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
82returns an integer.
